Need Help With Streaming
Right so I like to stream my music from my laptop to the amp using my Apple Airport Express. At first I had it connected to the Super Hub using ethernet but I kept on experiencing drop outs in the music.
I've not put the Super Hub in to modem mode and now using the Airport as a Router, BUT still experiencing these drop outs.
What could be causing it?

Can't really say. There is a wireless phone near it, but that's the only thing I think could cause interference.

ah right shouldn't be a problem then. Are you running Windows on your laptop?
Setup some performance counters and monitor bytes received and sent per sec on your wireless interface. Maybe pop a counter on for resets and errors.
Copy a file across your wireless network to your laptop and see what throughput you're getting, reset the counters then try again streaming some music. You should be able to tell straight away whether or not you have throughput problems
Pop wirelessmon on and see what the band occupancy is like in your area, should give you a good idea which channel to use if you need to change it.
